The company is a farmers’ co-operative and employs around 80 people. The creamery draws its milk supplies mostly from around 60 dairy farmers in the Clogher Valley. The company was founded in 1898.[1]

Cooneen is a soft goats cheese brie made with milk from a producer three miles from the creamery. More recently, they have added Oakwood to the range which is naturally smoked over oak chips.

Fivemiletown also achieved a BRC Grade A, which is a testament to the focus they put on producing cheese not only to the highest quality but also to the highest safety standards. Not only this, but Fivemiletown are the first food business in Northern Ireland to achieve the Red Tractor, Assured Dairy Farm quality mark, following an extensive and independent audit of its milk suppliers.
